Island Dreams

Today was a beautiful day so we decided to go for a walk on Mackworth Island. We had tried to do this once before but we were turned away because there was no parking. So dad put on the Bjorn, I grabbed the camera and away we went. Finn seems to thrive outside which isn't surprising since his mom and dad also thrive in the out of doors!I think he liked looking out over the ocean. Mark would pick up a rock and put it in his hand so he could feel the texture. He would also throw them in the water so Finn could see the splash. Hard to say if any of it was noticed but you can't blame a guy for trying. Soon he will appreciate those things.The most interesting thing he got to feel was some seaweed.Not sure he liked it judging from the look on his face, but who knows. It got pretty sunny out there on the beach so we used dad's hat for protection as well.Then we moved back up into the woods and enjoyed the view from a shady swing.but Finn fell asleepAll in all it was a beautiful walk and I think that Phineas will one day really love visiting the island. Tomorrow we may head over to Two Lights State Park.
